About Us

The University of Alaska Fairbanks offers much more than academic degree programs and scientific research.

UAF science departments and research units at UAF sponsor education outreach programs or activities that range from providing judges and school tours of research facilities, to K-12 curriculum development to college-bridging programs and science camps, to free workshops provided in communities across Alaska, and more.

Until now, these efforts have occurred independently of each other. No overall list of activities existed, and little coordination among departments occurred. With support from science departments and research units across campus, the UAF Science Education Outreach Network was developed to unite these efforts.

The UAF Science Education Outreach Network is a searchable database of the science education outreach programs and resources available through UAF. K-12 students and teachers, UAF college students and community members around the state can search the database for activities and resources available. Programs are searchable by categories such as calendar date, science discipline, Alaska region and Alaska Native culture.
